Your guide to Snake

Bring your attention to one round of Snake. Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Look at what changes after your first action.

Try a more deliberate round

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Notice the feedback after each input.

From the start of a round

  3. Each apple adds ten points and makes the snake longer.

See how the rules apply

When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.

Where a round can go wrong

The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
